Why I Don’t Spare “Spare Change”

“Poor but honest.” “The deserving（值得帮助的）poor. ” These words always come to my mind when I think of “the poor. ” But I also think of people who, perhaps through alcohol（酒）or drugs, have ruined not only their own lives but also the lives of others in order to give way to their own pleasure. Perhaps alcoholism and drug addiction（上瘾）really are “diseases. ” as many people say, but my own feeling－based, of course, not on any serious study－is that most alcoholies and drug addicts belong to the “undeserving poor. ” And that is largely why I don’t give spare change to beggars.

But surely among the street people there are also some who can rightly be called “deserving.” Deserving what? My spare change? Or simply the government’s assistance? It happens that I have been brought up to believe that it is proper to make contributions to charity（慈善机构）, but if I give some change to a beggar, am I making a contribution to charity and thereby helping someone, or, am I perhaps simply encouraging someone not to get help? Or, maybe even worse, am I supporting a cheat?

If one believes in the value of private charity, one can either give to needy people or to charitable organizations. In giving to a beggar one may indeed be helping a person who badly needs help, but one cannot be certain that one is giving to a needy person. In giving to an organization, on the other hand, one can feel that one’s money is likely to be used wisely. True, facing a beggar one may feel that this particular unfortunate person needs help at this moment－a cup of coffee or a sandwich－and the need will not be met unless I put my hand in my pocket right now. But I have come to think that the beggars whom I meet can get along without my spare change, and indeed perhaps they are actually better off for not having money to buy alcohol or drugs.

I know nothing about these beggars, but it’s my impression that they simply prefer begging to working. I am not generalizing about street people. I am talking about the people whom I actually meet. That’s why I do not give “spare change, ” and I don’t think I will in the future.

64．What does the author think of beggars who take drugs?

A．They should be given a cheek-up.

B．They really need money to live.

C．They have no pleasure in life.

D．They are not worth helping.

65．Why doesn’t the author give money to street people?

A．He doesn’t think they need help.

B．He doesn’t have enough money to give.

C．He is not convinced they will use it rightly.

D．He believes they can get help from the government.

66．In the second paragraph, the author presents his idea by _______.

A．asking questions for people to think about

B．giving examples to support his argument

C．raising questions and answering them

D．expressing his opinions directly

67．Which of the following opinions does the author accept?

A．Drug addiction is a disease.

B．Some street people are poor and needy.

C．Most beggars have received enough help.

D．Charitable organizations handle money properly.

You must have been troubled by when to say “I love you” because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.
　 What if you say it first and your partner doesn’t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve racking(紧张）and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn’t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand fast?
　A really good relationship should be about “being fair and being equal,” says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.” All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. “That feeling of ‘I’ve always loved you more’ may be subverted(颠覆，破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大声争吵).” In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,” says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ‘I love you’ first may also be the one who says ‘I’ m bored with you’ first.” Hall believes that much depends on how “I love you” is said and the motivation of the person saying it. “Is it said when they’re drunk? Is it said before their partner files off on holiday, and what it really means is ‘Please don’ t be unfaithful to me’ ?” By saying ‘I love you’, they are really saying ‘Do you love me?’ If so, wouldn’t it just be more honest to say that. Collins agrees that intention is everything. “It’s not what is said, but how it’s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.”
